Mosaic Music Festival Is Back, A Hundred Performances Better

Get your groove on in March with performances from Harry Connick Jr., George Clinton, Broken Social Scene and Fujiya & Miyagi at the annual Mosaic Music Festival
By Mavis Ang

For 10 days in March, 107 underground (and underrated) artists from all over the world will be performing at seven venues around The Esplanade.

Mosaic Music Festival’s fourth edition kicks off on March 7 with silky crooner Harry Connick Jr., who will be singing tracks from his latest album Oh, My Nola. I’m sure yuppies would be looking forward to watch this triple Grammy Award-winner put on a Sinatra groove to his big-band-style pieces.

The festival has always been heavy on jazz and world music. This time around, it is actually bringing in indie artists like Broken Social Scene, Sondre Lerche, Múm, and Fujiya & Miyagi (whose tickets are selling as fast as MacDonald’s Hello Kitty stuff toys). They’ve already been written down in my to do list.
